This week thousands of dog owners across the U.S. will usher their four-legged best friends to the office Friday for the annual Take Your Dog to Work Day.

Here at Pet Tales, we’d love to see any photos of your dog at work this week, so be sure to e-mail them to us at pets@ocregister.com. We’ll share them with our readers and anyone who wasn’t able to commute with Fido.

The event was first celebrated in 1999 to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs.

TYDTWD is sponsored by Pet Sitters International, which represents nearly 8,000 independent professional pet-sitting businesses in the United States, Canada and abroad.
